[Noble#6]Balanar the NightStalker

[Noble®]

first i want to say that all notes,comments,sentences and guides i post are 100% written by me(Noble) and only me! if you wish to post a part or full of this guide to other forums consider giving the proper credits to NobLe(i m against c(L)opy - pasting so dont humiliate your ass and yourself by just copying my job

 

Noble Note: Balanar is an imbA tank or DPS and he is a cool looking hero!he speaks gently relaxed and like a nobleman thats why i like this hero a lot ^^

 

My target is to make you learn the basics of the  hero i post a guide for! I m not god so i cant assure that following my guide you become the pwner ! PWNAGE is affected by your gamestyle so even if you have the best hero you might play like noob and  maybe if you play with the weakest hero become beyond godlike in a game

 

Balanar,The NightStalker

 

Introduction

Beware, you who wonder the night. Each step you take leads you deeper in the hideous reign of the horrible ruler of the dark. Balanar, elite dreadlord who brought the total darkness of the Nether into this world, haunts these regions. Your heart will pump harder, your legs will shake, and your mind will cloud as the presence of the stalker hunts you in the dark. There's no chance to fight, no way to run, and no place to hide - darkness is everywhere! You can pray, you can cry, but the darkness won't be stopped - until you die.

Level 2 - Deals 160 damage 112 mana

Level 3 - Deals 255 damage 130 mana

Level 4 - Deals 335 damage 145 mana

 

Cooldown: 8 seconds.

 

Note:its a nuke Balanar has!Late game this skill will be completely useless but it can be used to slow  someone who probably try to escape or finish someone ^^ at night time it can slow someone

 

Crippling Fear

 

In the night, the Night Stalker can cause intense fear in enemy units, causing them to miss attacks and be unable to cast spells.

 

Level 1 - Miss on 10% of attacks. Lasts 5 seconds.

Level 2 - Miss on 20% of attacks. Lasts 6 seconds.

Level 3 - Miss on 30% of attacks. Lasts 7 seconds.

Level 4 - Miss on 40% of attacks. Lasts 8 seconds.

 

Cooldown 12 seconds

 

Note:as the info says there are chances that your hits will cause your enemies to miss and silence them from casting spells at night!it might save you in many battles or disable a strong opponent in a team battle..useless at day

 

 

 

Hunter in the Night(Pasive)

 

The Night Stalker is at home at night. He attacks and moves more swiftly.

 

Level 1 - 15% movement speed, 20% attack speed.

Level 2 - 20% movement speed, 35% attack speed.

Level 3 - 30% movement speed, 55% attack speed.

Level 4 - 35% movement speed, 75% attack speed.

 

Note:  This is why you are called Night Stalker!when you hear the Wolf Howl at 17:30-18:00 game time then prepare for ownage!you gain extra AS and MS during the night! :D This skill is deactivated automatically at 06:00 where the roast starts the day and reactivates at 18:00 ^^

 

 

Darkness

Creates a period of darkness for the Night Stalker to thrive in.

 

Level 1 - Turns day into a 25 second night.

Level 2 - Turns day into a 50 second night.

Level 3 - Turns day into a 80 second night.

 

Cooldown: 240/180/125

 

Note:This is an amazing skill which costs NO mana :D and extends your ownage for some seconds!  the trick with that skill is that the best time to use it is in night time! no one will see when you used this skill(only if they notice the watch) and you get the time stopped for the duration while this skill is activated to 00:00!

 

if you want to use it on day time for some ganging the sky will get darkened so probably the enemies will withdraw or play more defensive in order to watch their backs :P dont waste it for farming lol

 

 

What items should i wear on Balanar?

 

it is acceptable cuz in night time you may need instant teleportation to the fights! despite it is acceptable i dont rly get it or accept it its up to you

For Evasion for Attack Speed (you want it for day time if you get BoTs) The reason why i chose this is that some players  are quite difficult late game like

 

 

-->armor , AS just great item :P sunergizes with BoTs to reach almost max AS at night:D

for easy farming and help in day time

great bonus stats ;)

HP bonus,Fast HP regen for next battle! :)

 

Alternative

for the stat bonus and survival but BoT is way way way better

take it at your own risk

alternative choice but rarely chosen in pubs

dmg dmg dmg :D :D :D

Lifesteal

Life Steal + armor +MP regen(though we dont need MP regen that much its acceptable)

instead of Vlads

 

 

Rejected items

 

  because Radiance does better job + we dont need mp on balanar!!!Void will be useless when you get BF so the mp regen will be ignored  ^^ Radi Radi Radi !!!

NOOOOOO!!!! illusions DONT get the effects at night so dont even take it

 

 

 

 

Worst Enemies

 

 

NOTE: i didnt specified them just because only these can trouble you in game ^^

Nother great guidefrom noble u help me !!!! I always confusing with my build xD!! but vladimirs?

[Noble®]

vlads,HOTD,Satanic added (i forgot to put them lol)

[Gbet]Tr3La]

Good Guide NobLe,

 

But you forgot two important items,

 

Sange & Yasha and Vladimir's offering

 

 

BTW NobLe check your PM's

[Noble®]

vlads exist in alternative list

 

SnY on purpose isnt on the list because many ppl choose it (but they cant use satanic)

Sny imo is not that needed because we have radi,crippling fear and satanic in main build :)

 

i placed the strongest possible build in my opinion
